Chelsea ace Eden Hazard: I know I can do much better

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard insists he can do much more this season.

Hazard scored twice for victory at Watford this week.

But he reckons he has still not hit the form which helped him win Footballer of the Year honours in 2015 when Chelsea won the league with him playing as a winger.

“I will get more goals playing through the middle, for sure," he said.

“But I will score more goals also if I play as a winger, so…

“I get more chances through the middle. But my position is winger. I feel better as a winger, but I did well [against Watford] as a striker, against Brighton I did well as a striker.

“So the manager chooses where to put me on the pitch and then I try to do my best."

Hazard added: “To score 101 is a special achievement. Of course. I am not focused about scoring goals, but to reach this level is good, especially when you play for this amazing club.

“We want to win, I want to score, I want to help my team to win games. I am just happy.

“I was not thinking about reaching 100 at all before the game. The guys just told me at half-time and I was happy, so I just gave a smile.

“And when you score 100, you just want to score more, so I will try to get more."
